Welcome back to Mixtape Mondays, we had a week off last week as I was down and out with a super nasty case of the flu. But we’re back this week with yet another strange and bizarre mix of new music, and a sneak preview of my upcoming thesis work.

Fantastic Negrito’s newest single “Working Poor” is out, for his upcoming album The Last Days of Oakland. I did the design layout for the single cover – and if you keep your eyes peeled they’ll be more Fantastic Negrito art by your’s truly coming out soon!

Check out the song, show love, buy the song, and support Oakland artists and musicians!
All the love.

Happy Monday everyone, Mixtape Monday Volume XXIII – “Love Live | Live Love” is here. This week we have a short mix of artists from a variety of genres including Nina Simone, Rakim, Public Enemy, Naughty By Nature, MF Doom, Black Milk, Childish Gambino, A$ap Rocky, Mos Def, Oddisee, Wale, and J Dilla.

For those in the know, and now those outside of it – for the past few weeks I’ve been working on my thesis project at California College of the Arts. And to keep ya’ll included in the process, from here on out all the Mixtape covers will hint or preview some of the work coming from my thesis project. I hope you’ll enjoy the music and the little snippets at whats’ to come.

Good afternoon/evening everybody – We’re coming in a lil hot this week with Volume XXII – “Pop Rap is Still Black”. This are crazy out on this side so I appologize for the late mixes, but at any rate here we are with the likes of Christian Rich, Rihanna, Little Simz, Doomtree, Dr. Dre, Mr. West Mr West, Jay-Z, Travi$ Scott, FKA twigs, SZA & Kendrick Lamar, Wale, and Anderson .Paak. I hope ya’ll enjoy this lil oddity we got rocking this week, it’l be fun.

Mixtape Monday is live! This week’s mix is quick and to the point clocking in at 45 minutes, with some classic funk. I’ve been revisiting a lot of 90’s G Funk era hip hop of late, pulled up some of the main songs and bands they’d sampled. Musicians such as, Betty Davis, Rick James, George Clinton, Funkadelic, Parliament, Roy Ayers Ubiquity, Sly & The Family Stone, Sun Ra – and then we got some tracks by Kendrick Lamar and Warren G to tie the whole production together.

Keep your eyes peeled, we should have a new review coming up soon – now that Rihanna’s amazing “ANTI” has dropped.
Until then, Enjoy!
